over the portholes.
The victory did help in one way, though.
Sometimes dealing with the weather on
the North Atlantic was as hard a battle as
acteal encounters withthe enemy. Sitting
down to a meal often resulted in a number
of broken dishes and atpoints, depending
on the supply, plates and cups had to be
shared at mealtimes.
The consistently broken dishes suited
the dishwasher just fine.
The HMCS Sherbrooke received a full
set of dishes just before V -E day. The men
drawing the job as dishwashers dutifully'
Labored to clean the almost 100 sets until
one man heard the news that the war was'
over,,for the men on the Sherbrooke. He
didn't see the need to keep washing dishes
- dozens of sets were tossed 'out the
porthole.
